SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of July 9, 2009 (74 FR 33030), we issued a 
final rule requiring shell egg producers to implement measures to 
prevent Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) from contaminating eggs on the farm 
and from further growth during storage and transportation, and 
requiring these producers to maintain records concerning their 
compliance with the final rule and to register with FDA. This final 
rule became effective September 8, 2009. In the Federal Register of 
July 13, 2011 (76 FR 41157), we made available a draft guidance 
entitled ``Questions and Answers Regarding the Final Rule, Prevention 
of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs During Production, Storage, and 
Transportation'' and gave interested parties an opportunity to submit 
comments by September 12, 2011. We have reviewed and evaluated these 
comments and have modified the guidance where appropriate.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance 
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents our 
current thinking on how to interpret the requirements in the final 
rule, including questions and answers on compliance dates; coverage; 
definitions; SE prevention measures; sampling and testing for SE; 
registration; and compliance and enforcement. It does not create or 
confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA 
or the public. An alternate approach may be used if such approach 
satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of 
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information 
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The 
collections of information in 21 CFR 118.5, 118.6, 118.10, and 118.11 
have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0660.
